FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Northern Arizona University Athletics has reached a ground breaking multi-year partnership with MoneyRadio 1510 AM and 99.3 FM to broadcast NAU football and men's basketball games in the Phoenix area.

MoneyRadio's coverage of NAU Athletics will begin this weekend as the Lumberjacks host North Dakota on Saturday, Nov. 2 at the Walkup Skydome.

- Head Men's Basketball Coach Jack Murphy

"I'm seriously pumped that the NAU Lumberjacks are going to be available on FM radios in our cars, our homes or anywhere in Phoenix on MoneyRadio. This means a lot to those of us who bleed Lumberjack blue and gold, those of us who are alums of NAU or the many people I know in the Valley who are fans of the Jacks!"

- Former NAU and NFL Quarterback Travis Brown

"I was very excited to find out that NAU games would be broadcast in the valley. It will be awesome to be able to follow the Jacks play-by-play when they are on the road or when we can't make it up north to see their home games. It is another way that alumni and future Lumberjacks can get to know the players a little better. The additional exposure in Phoenix will be very positive for NAU in so many ways. I look forward to listening to the Jacks on the radio!"
